Zyzz

Zyzz was the online handle of Aziz Shavershian, an Australian bodybuilder who frequented /fit/ and the /misc/ (miscellaneous) Bodybuilding Forums board. He promoted acquiring an “aesthetic” physique gained through weight lifting and having a low body fat percentage. Although Zyzz was often criticized for being a shameless narcissist, his untimely death at age of 22 ultimately brought him iconic stature on the web, especially within bodybuilding communities.
